Swedish pole vault sensation Armand Duplantis has tied the knot with Desire Inglander in a private ceremony. The couple got married in secrecy at Stockholm's City Hall on March 7, only days prior to Duplantis breaking a new world record with a jump of 6.31 meters. Desire will now be known as Desire Duplantis, reflecting their union. The couple is planning to celebrate their marriage with a larger celebration in Cannes this June, building on the excitement of their recent nuptials.

Duplantis expressed that he did not want to draw too much attention to the wedding, stating that it was only a part of the marriage proceedings and that the main celebration is still to come. His modest approach to this milestone stands in contrast to the high-profile nature of his athletic achievements, including setting numerous records. Despite the secrecy surrounding their wedding, he has shown a desire to include this aspect of his life in the public eye as well, hinting at future plans including starting a family with his wife.

While the wedding was kept under wraps, it highlights a more personal and intimate side of a young athlete often in the spotlight for his sports career. Fans and followers can expect more updates as the couple prepares for their larger celebration in the romantic backdrop of Cannes, as well as their plans for the future. The news also signifies Duplantis’s commitment not only to his sport but to his personal life, adding depth to the narrative of his ongoing success and achievements in athletics.
